Case Number 05/03280/RG3 Application Type Application Submitted by the Council Proposal Erection of mobile crushing/processing plant (Full Planning Application under Reg 3 - 1992) Location Land At Beighton Tip, Beighton Road, Woodhouse, Sheffield Date Received 22/08/2005 Team CITY CENTRE AND EAST Applicant/Agent Sheffield City Council Recommendation Grant Conditionally Subject to: 1 The use of the crusher shall cease by the 31st July 2006 and the crusher shall be removed from the site by this date unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. In the interests of the amenities of the locality. 2 The crusher shall not be used on any Sunday or any Public Holiday and shall be used only between 08:00 hours and 17:30 hours Monday to Friday and 08:00 hours and 12:30 hours on a Saturday. In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. Attention is drawn to the following justifications: 6 1. The decision to grant planning permission and impose any conditions has been taken having regard to the policies and proposals in the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan set out below, and to all relevant material considerations, including Supplementary Planning Guidance. GE4 - Development and the Green Belt Environment GE10 - Green Network MW5 - Waste Disposal Areas MW7 - Environmental Impact of Mineral Working and Waste Disposal Operations This informative is intended as a summary of the reasons for grant of planning permission. For further detail on the decision please see the application report by contacting the Planning Records section on 2734215 or by visiting Sheffield City Council's website at www.sheffield.gov.uk/your- city-council/council-meetings/planning-boards Site Location 7 © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 LOCATION AND PROPOSAL The application relates to the northern end of the former Beighton Tip site which is accessed off Beighton Road. The former tip is currently being reclaimed and restored for use as open space. The restoration scheme was approved in February 2005 (App. No. 04/04369/FUL). The scheme is being implemented over a 4-year period, phase 1 has already been completed and phase 2 is currently underway. The approved reclamation scheme requires material to be brought onto the site in order to cap the tip so that rainwater does not leach through the tipped material and contaminate nearby watercourses. The Environment Agency who are the controlling authority for the restoration scheme have agreed that material which is being excavated from remedial works being carried out to Mosborough Parkway can be used in the restoration scheme. This material however requires crushing to obtain a uniform size and grade that can be utilised in the restoration scheme. An application has therefore been made to operate a crushing machine on the site for a period of 8 weeks to crush the 15,000 cubic metres of material being delivered from the site from the road works. The material will then be utilised in the restoration scheme over the next 3 years. The crushing machine will be located in the area where the restoration soils are being stored at the northern end of the site. At its nearest point this area is located approximately 170m from housing off Massy Road and approximately 140m from the St. Annes Hostel off Beighton Road. The crusher will be operated between the hours of 08.00 to 17.30 Monday to Friday and 08.30 to 12.30 on Saturday. RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY Planning application 04/04369/FUL was granted for the restoration of the former Beighton tip in February 2005. SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS None received. PLANNING ASSESSMENT Policy Issues. The application site lies in the Green Belt and in a Waste Disposal Area in the Unitary Development Plan. Policy GE4 states that development in the green belt should wherever possible conserve and enhance the natural environment. Planning Policy Guidance Note 2 ‘Green Belts’ advises that when large-scale development of land occurs in the 8 Green Belt including the tipping of waste, it should, as far as possible contribute to the achievement of the objectives for the use of land in Green Belts. These are, to provide access to the open countryside for the urban population, provide for outdoor recreation near urban areas, enhance landscapes near where people live, improve damaged and derelict land around towns and secure nature conservation interest. The Shire Brook Valley is also identified as a Green Corridor in the Unitary Development Plan. Policy GE10 seeks to protect the Green Network from development that will detract from its green and open character, cause ecological damage and encourages development that increases their value for wildlife and recreation. Policy MW5 states that waste disposal is the preferred use within waste disposal areas in the short term. Policy MW7 states that waste disposal operations should provide restoration and aftercare of the site and provide for the use and control of landfill gas. When considering the application for the restoration scheme for the former tip it was considered the there were overwhelming benefits from the project in terms of restoring a despoiled site, preventing pollution, improving the landscape and ecological value of the site and restoring it for an appropriate green belt use. The short-term dis-benifts in terms of noise and appearance during the construction works were considered to significantly outweighed by these benefits. The use of a crusher on site will marginally worsen the appearance of the site and result in small increase in noise for a short period. This will not significantly affect the overall balance of benefits and dis-benefits from the overall project. There will also be wider sustainability benefits in that the material from the parkway site can be recycled locally as opposed to it being transported longer distances to be disposed of. Amenity Impact. Given the separation from residential accommodation and the proposed hours of operation the Environmental Protection Service consider that the proposal is unlikely to impact on residential amenity. The applicants have indicated that as far as practical they will operate the crusher on the part of the storage area furthest away from the residential accommodation. The levels of this part of the site are such that it falls away from Beigton Road and therefore the topography will tend to help screen noise. Potential dust from the crusher will be subject of local authority regulation. The permit will include provision of dust suppression equipment as required under the Integrated Pollution, Prevention and Control Regulations. These controls should be sufficient to ensure that dust does not escape the site and cause dis-amenity for local residents. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION 9 The crusher will marginally worsen the appearance and increase noise emanating from the site. However this will only be for a short period and will be taking place in the context of the major engineering works being undertaken as part of the restoration project.
